aliens have 3 forms: eggs, adults and Gigan
alien eggs never move or attack
alien eggs will eventually hatch and turn into new alien adults; eggs turn yellow when will hatch soon
alien adults wander
alien adults will try to attack and kill any nearby humans; easier for aliens to kill civs than marines
civs are human colonists
civs wander unless they see aliens, then they flee; they flee from the nearest alien
marines are human soldiers with a mission of protecting the ships, colony buildings and humans
marines wander unless they see aliens, then they hunt aliens; they hunt the nearest alien
marines will try to attack and kill any nearby aliens; easier for marines to kill eggs than adults
Gigan, the giant alien (statue? queen? cyborg?), seems to never move or attack, and is neither hunted or fled from
